Default newbie - seeking research advice

Hello, I'm Jason from Texas, I am new and am seeking advice.

I am wanting to build a cobra replica with my father in law who is a die-hard Ford fan. He has owned many mustangs in the past, and only buys Ford.

So, here is the direction I would like to go:

- Durability & dependability (don't want to break down on the road)
- Original in looks only (not competing)
- Ease of maintenance
- Able to fit big guys (I'm 6'3, and my father in law is 6'1)
- Good instructions (basic, not expert experience needed)
- Needs to have as many Ford parts as possible.

Again - we are looking to build a weekend cruiser for fun, not to compete.
I'm thinkin if you can drop a modern F-150 or mustang engine into a well thought out and documented kit, that would be great. I enjoy building, but don't want something that would take > 5 years of weekends to build because I have to coordinate my time with his. I look forward to just cruising around in the open air on weekends, and possibly handing this down to future generations.

Any recommendations?
